OcteonTx2 and Octeon10 (CN10K) are two generations of Octeon processors from Marvell. Within each generation there are multiple silicon variants. Again for each variant there are multiple skews. Since the watchdog hardware block functionality is same across all of above generations / variants / families / skews, is it okay to use below compatible strings ? - const: marvell,octeontx2-wdt - const: marvell,cn10k-wdt Also this is the same naming we have been using in other drivers as well. drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2 drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/af/rvu_cn10k.c drivers/perf/marvell_cn10k_ddr_pmu.c static const struct of_device_id cn10k_ddr_pmu_of_match[] = { { .compatible = "marvell,cn10k-ddr-pmu", }, { }, }; Thanks, Sunil.
